But I think for most of us most of the time, we have the means to give. It doesn't have to be a lot of money. And if you simply don't have any money, you can always give some time.

I have a query, however, for you and your readers. You feel that charitable donations should be an integral part of a financial plan, but what about those who are OK financially, but not exactly rolling in dough? I don't mean people who are wasteful, but people who are frugal with their money, and who just don't earn that much to start off with. You could say that these people fit into the working-class category. They can live satisfactorily, but are almost living paycheque-to-paycheque and don't have much in the way of luxury. In my opinion, I think it's okay to skip the part about charity when your own financial plan can be wiped out so easily.
